The mods have come up with a list of a few core tenets which we believe are the basic underlying axioms of those who are AlreadyRed.

They have been added to our wiki.

This thread is a meta thread to discuss these tenets.

If you think something is missing, discuss it here, and the mods will decide if it's something we want to add.

To have a discussion about advanced topics, there are several axioms which will be assumed to be true. This is not the place to discuss whether or not those axioms hold true (try /r/theredpill or /r/purplepilldebate). Rather, given that those axioms hold true, how do we take our games and lives to the next level.

This list is not meant to be exhaustive, but note that it's difficult to find widely agreed upon topics which all red members find correct. We also don't want nitpicking if something (only) holds true 99% of the time. At some point you need to decide upon a level of significance before considering every single "exception which disproves the rule". In science, it's typical to use a 5% degree of statistical significance, so we'll say something should hold true approximately >95% of the time.

  • Dreadgame works.

  • Alpha fuck, beta bucks.

  • Nice guys finish last

  • TRP aims to change yourself to thrive in this world, whereas MRA or Feminism aims to change the world.

  • Pay attention to what people do, not what they say.

  • AWALT (applies to topics such as hypergamy, women being attracted to a leader, etc.). The individual differences come from the degree to which a women is like that. Everything in this universe is a spectrum.

(Added on 2014-04-01):

  • Women only care about how you make them feel.

  • If you pedestalize someone, said person can only look down on you.

  • Never accept less than you deserve.

  • Self esteem should only depend on yourself, not external validation.

  • Focus on yourself first, then care about others. E.G. Diet, strength, mental frame.

  • Sunk cost fallacy makes you act stupid; recognize your mistakes and deal with them.

  • Maintain frame and stick to your guns, people will respect you for it.

  • Worrying about things that are out of your control is a waste of time. Focus only on what you can change.
